Seth claims to have sent out my board on Thursday (I'm the Kmac guy), but the shipping information still has not updated past "Pre-Shipment". But he has been communicating, although not much lately, and I really hope to have this sorted out quickly.
I replied saying that I will be waiting for the tracking no, and will only close the dispute if the item is in "transit" - since some members experienced misleading tracking label from him

Hey man, be wary of this :

for other people, use your paypal protection before it's too late.
It's a bit late since the decision regarding his vendor status has been made but is there anything I can do to get my money back from Seth if I sent the money via family/friends? I figured nothing could go wrong given his vendor status but because of how I sent the money, I can't get paypal involved in this case. The only feasible way of getting my money back is getting him to refund me directly but he hasn't even replied to my last PM.
The events of my transaction are something along these lines: Contacted on /r/mechmarket > Exchanged money via paypal for 1 set of 62g springs > Waited 3 weeks, didn't receive them > Attempted to contact him though reddit, got no reply > contacted him on GH, got a reply days later saying wait a bit longer > Contacted him on GH saying they haven't arrived after a month > Got a reply a few days later saying he'll ship another set > Contacted him a month later because those ones haven't arrived yet and still have no reply to this day.
I ended up buying steel springs off a mechmarket user in my country when they appeared so I don't have a use for seth's springs anymore but I still want them since I paid for them. Either that or my money back pls :(

Did you pay with funds already in your account, or through your bank? You can try to go through your bank, but it may not do much good.
I know the (correct) decision has already been reached. Even so, i wanted to close the loop on my personal experience. PP refunded me this morning. Seth never responded to me once. PP also indicated that his account has a negative balance but that would not affect my refund.Good follow up!
I can't suggest strongly enough for people to open a claim if it is at all possible for them.
I wonder if this will affect his credit history in the future?Around here? Haha. Give it ~6 months and if he showed up selling some more custom parts or boards etc you'll see more suckers lining up.

I doubt this could have any affect on that.I wonder if this will affect his credit history in the future?Around here? Haha. Give it ~6 months and if he showed up selling some more custom parts or boards etc you'll see more suckers lining up.
I meant his bank credit history. As in for later when he decides to get a loan from the bank for a house etc.
You pull something like this off in Australia and you're screwed for 10 years. Bye bye any chance of getting a home loan.
PP can't affect a credit score as far as I know. And he is a minor anyway.
can a minor even have a CC? I haven't been one in a while. :pPP can't affect a credit score as far as I know. And he is a minor anyway.If his account is linked with a credit card and his balance is in the negatives i think it will.
I dont think a minor can have a paypal account. Wasn't someone perma banned from paypal because they put fake details in to get an accont and when pp wanted the account verified they got banned. Could happen here also?can a minor even have a CC? I haven't been one in a while. :pPP can't affect a credit score as far as I know.

Regardless, I'm sure his parents will get involved to help clear up this mess. One of the benifits to being a kid.

sadly, probably not wrong.
Sad knowing I'll probably never see my board again =( makes it hard to trust people online againI wonder if this will affect his credit history in the future?Around here? Haha. Give it ~6 months and if he showed up selling some more custom parts or boards etc you'll see more suckers lining up.

That's why I've been starting my own personal blacklist, I like to trust anybody but it only takes one to ruin it.

I'm hoping he actually sends his secret santa something.

I like to have a little faith in him, he did end up finally shipping azhdar his board. I probably live pretty close to him, I wouldn't mind completing the projects for him so people can at least get their boards back. It's a shame he doesn't respond at all.

At this point this looks like a pretty great option lol

I had just sent sethk a pm stating that I would be glad to take over the projects as long as the owners of the items agree to do so. I have so much free time currently that I could knock out a couple a day. I will be heading back to college(2 hour drive) on January 10th but I also will be driving home every weekend. I also have a pretty awesome schedule for next semester where I have no classes after 12 p.m. on MWF so that gives me a lot of free time as well. I have built three boards, one including resistors and diodes, but have had experience in the past. On one of my previous posts I thought I would may have to take a leave of absence from geekhack but that has since change, in fact I actually have more free time than ever.

Hell, mine doesn't even need more work, just needs to be shipped :(
Well that's easy enough haha, it's a shame he can't even stop by the post office or even schedule for a pick-up. I am more than willing to help out, just hoping that he replies.

The label has even been printed for over a week. Literally won't even bother to schedule a pickup
Still no reply from sethk_... I'm going to send another email, not that it will do any good.He mentioned in a post from before that he won't be responding temporarily and he will instead focus on finishing out the stuff he needs to for other people.

Just an update on the situation thus far:It is great to hear you are going to receive your stuff. I hope more people get the same experience. It is never too late to set things right.
My tracking has been updated to show that Seth sent out my board, along with the parts. He's been communicating openly with me on Twitter, and seems to be working hard to resolve any remaining issues.

Wait, what?
I asked Sethk to assemble my TGR Jane about a year ago. He responded and provided his mailing address. About 2 months after that he disappeared and stopped responding. I think steezyus even offered to try contact sethk to retrieve the lost Jane, but no luck there.

Do you have a point you're trying to make here? Every thread in this sub, save for this one, is locked. This is the thread for discussing issues. Based on people having posted here within the last week, I'd say there's still need for it.
Had I not posted, I have a funny feeling no one would have.
My point would be there seems to be a lot of cleaning up needed on this forum (GH in general, not just kbdhub), and it honestly seems like no one wants to do anything about it.
